writing a quick prototype: frames question

[John Curley]

Hi, All:

I have two frame sets and need to change the documents in two frames of two
different framesets. Here are my framesets:

body-frameset.html:

<frameset rows="*" cols="25%,75%" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO"
border="0">

<frame src="menu-frameset.html" name="menuFramesetFrame">

<frame src="welcome-user.jsp" name="bodyFrame">

</frameset>


contains menu-frameset.html:

<frameset rows="30%,2%,68%" cols="*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO"
border="0">

<frame src="pharmacy-links.jsp" name="linksFrame">

<frame src="buffer.html" name="bufferFrame" scrolling="no">

<frame src="welcome-menu.jsp" name="menuFrame">

</frameset>


What I want to do is when I load a new page in the "bodyFrame" (from
body-frameset.html), I want to be able to load a new menu page in
"menuFrame.html" (from menu-frameset.html".

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
John

I have two frame sets

you're a bad man!

<frame src="menu-frameset.html" name="menuFramesetFrame">
<frame src="welcome-user.jsp" name="bodyFrame">

that is not a reason to use frames.

I normally use jsp and tiles but I was trying to bang something together
real quick. This is not how I would write a production UI.

Oh dear

and need to change the documents in two frames of
two different framesets.

Link to a new <frameset> document with different default documents. But
avoiding frames is generally a better bet.
